The ride to the manor was bumpy and long, but gradually it became smooth as they passed several buildings and houses that had better environments. Unlike how it was in the area where the inn was situated, the road up to the manor was in perfect condition.
The carriage horses suddenly pulled into a stop in front of a steel gate beside it. Behind the gates was a huge manor that looked like a castle where there was another path that led to a fountain and to the front door of the manor.
The gates were pulled open by two guards with a muscular build. Then, the carriage continued to roll forward towards where the front door was and where there were a few servants and maids were already waiting for them.
"Young master Lucas, Young miss Lotte. We welcome you to the manor." All the servants and the maids simultaneously bowed at the two, completely ignoring the presence of the three other young ladies that stood behind them.
